Temper-Pedic vs Sleep Number

[banzai]

I let the ex-wife keep the Temper-pedic king size. I bought my self a Temper-pedic king size. I vote with my wallet. I napped all afternoon on it today and it was great. I would buy another tomorrow if mine burned down today. Buy the one that makes you say, "oh yeah" and don't look back. You will spend 1/3 of you life on it.

TP all the way.We've had one for years and love it.When ours started sagging they replaced it for free.

Another vote for TP-We got the adjustable base

I have a bad back and the wife has had back surgery and we absolutely love it.

Which one is a matter of opinion. We have tempurpedic. I love it. Two pieces of advice that are a fact. Get the waterproof mattress cover. This thing has kept our bed looking new. Water, wine, puke. They are awesome. Second. A chiropractor wrote my a letter/prescription for the bed. Saved us two hundred bucks in taxes.

Okay I'm a heavy drinker but the water wine and puke never comes into play

Ha! If I'm buying a matress cover due to puke concerns I have bigger issues. Puke is for the commode. Water and wine are for the stomach.

We have had both and prefer the Tempurpedic. The sleep number is ok, both sides can be adjusted independently, etc. Every so often you have to re-inflate to get to the desired firmness, not a big deal though.

When we moved overseas we got the Tempurpedic because the 220V power here and the Sleep number motor is 110V. I wish we had gotten the Tempurpedic first, far superior mattress in my opinion, sleep much better than I ever did on the SN bed.

I had back pain issues and that's the reason I went with the SN bed, but I think the Tempurpedic would have been better for me, I've since had surgery and back pain is no longer an issue.

Tempurpedic for the win.

She needs to hook us up with a TBH special.

Had the sleep number for 4 years and hate it. The right side will not hold the correct air. Plus you can't reaslly use the middle of the bed because of the foam piece in the middle and due to the fact that the two sides are different settings. I'm getting a tempurpedic..

Had the sleep number for 3 years, hated it after the first 6 mos. got a tempurpedic and I will never buy another brand. They are incredible.

Mattress are like new girlfriends....... They're new and awesome to sleep on the first month, then you start having regrets. My wife and I spent $10K in mattresses the first 7 years of marriage. The last one was/is a TP and its been great, but I still want better. They give you a 30-90 day return (most stores), but there's some small lettering in there so caveat emptor.

My view is you spend more time on/in your bed than you do in your vehicle and couches combined, so why skimp on a cheap mattress.

I am in the market for a new mattress and have been doing a ton of research. I haven't been yet, but I intend on visiting Texas Mattress Makers in Houston. You should check them out.

Going on 20+ years with my SN. Had mine so long that when I bought it, they were called Select Number. Ha, ha.
I've never had a better bed. Never tried the TP. I'm sure it's very good but I'm completly satisfied with my SN.
The bed really came in handy when I had hip replacement surgery. I was able to make it real soft so my hip was comfortable and then air it up to make it hard to aid getting out of bed. That was a blessing in disguise.
I'm not really aware of how much I like it until I travel and have to sleep on a strange bed. Makes me really appreciate coming home to my bed.

If you go to a Mattress Firm my wife can get you a pretty dang good discount. They aren't allowed to discount TP though as they are price locked. She is on the training side of Tempur-Sealy so there is no commission incentive for me to tell you that, she will just send you to one of the many sales reps that she knows and they can offer "friends and family" discount.

My wife's account is Mattress Firm so she knows just about every sales rep in N/W/S Houston.

Just throwing that out there.
